Meh

 

the pass rush was dreadful so they needed someone but this guy was a bust until he got to play next to Aaron Donald.

 

my girlfriend could rack up 6-8 sacks playing next to Donald, Floyd won’t have that luxury here 

 

Our D-Line:

 

- Von

- Ed

- Floyd

- DaQuan

- Phillips 

- Rousseau 

- Shaq

- Epenesa

- POOOOOOOONNNNNNNAAAAAAA

Love this move.  
 

Gives us a proven pass rusher to hold it down until Von gets back.. and also allows us to potentially use Rousseau more as an inside rusher, with Von and Floyd off the edge.

Exactly. 29 sacks in the last 3 years. Great signing by Beane.

Either Boogie or Shaq isn't making the team. At least Epenesa had a pulse with 6.5 sacks last year. 

 

I'm feeling like Beane is going to try to swap Boogie for a 5th or something along those lines. Next year's draft--by all accounts--is likely to be better than this past year's, and we have an extra 3rd and two extra 6's, beyond our original picks... Beane's stackin' picks like flapjacks, over here 😎

our defense, fully healthy, has to be an extremely scary thought for opposing teams.

And that's why I'm not as concerned with who is playing MLB. We literally have former All Pros and Pro Bowl caliber players all over this defense. More I think about it the more I hope Williams wins the spot so he can get valuable experience playing along side some really smart and gifted players. 

 

Add in McDermott hopefully bringing more aggression and risk taking on that side of the ball...if this defense stays healthy it's going to be really fun to watch.

I mean I don't like what it says about our ability to draft DE, but I have a hard time quibbling on a one year for a vet coming off of back to back 9 sack seasons, especially knowing that while Vonn is optimistic I don't want to rush him back week 1 after the Tre White affair

Amazing off season. 

Upgraded WR RB OL DL TE and S 

Already have elite CB group

Tremendous,  especially with our cap. 

This roster is LOADED, by far the best roster top to bottom since The McBeane Era 

No excuses 💪

Will be very interesting to see the $.  The fact that it wasn't originally reported by Ian in his tweet, makes it more likely a good deal for us

Not my 1st choice of the remaining DE's, but he is a good player for sure! 

Perhaps Justin Houston, Melvin Ingram or Yannick Ngakoue would still like to join us 😎😂

I’m ok with not getting Hopkins now. At least they’re not staying the same as last year 

 

I'm tipping that one or more of Shakir, Sherfield, Shorter or Harty rack up some good numbers.

I got a boogie on my roster and I can't get him off ... I got a boogie on my roster and I can't get him off ...

Another Boogie Basham basher.  The milk of human kindness flows meagrely on this board. 😕

Huh?   So signing Floyd makes you feel better about the WR position as it currently stands?


Im “ok” with the WR situation.  Think it has a lot of potential, but also a lot of question marks.  
 

That said .. I echo that poster’s sentiment.  
 

It’s truly impressive to me that we were able to, thus far, come away with.. 

 

Key Losses:  Edmunds, Singletary & McKenzie

 

Key Additions:  Rapp, Harris, Murray, McGovern, Shell, Harty, Sherfield, Ford & Floyd

 

Not counting the draft picks, the roster churn this off-season (on paper) has been a massive upgrade.

Agreed; and we didn't have any cap room when he started. Alot of good value pick-ups

He’ll be 31 when the season starts. I’d prefer some of Beane’s draft picks actually pan out instead of having to sign these risky vets.

 

31 is not old for many DE's.  What exactly is risky about a 1 year deal for a player with 29 sacks over the last 3 years who also has a SB ring

Am I the only one that feels defense is just there to watch the offense these days?  I don’t think this guy will make our D able to stop any other top offense.  I feel like signing Hopkins would make a big difference.  This guy, no matter how good, just won’t.

Last season, Aaron Donald missed 6 games at the end of the year.  

Leonard Floyd had 4 sacks during that stretch.  So it's not just the attention that Donald commands.

 

And even though the Bills don't have anyone the caliber of Donald on our D-Line, we are still far beyond what Floyd had next to him on the Chicago Bears.

Top 10 pick in 2016 and never really took off in Chicago. 
 

Has been with the Rams the past 3 seasons and produced 10.5, 9.5 and 9.0 sacks. He’ll get after the QB. 

Sounds like a really nice signing. Any details on the contract and for how long?

 

Sounds like he has a lot left in the tank.

The best way to stop top offenses is disruptive pressure
